Quick Ratio Changes with the Tamiya 53964 Pinions

The Tamiya 53964 48P Pinion Gear set supplies two pinions, 16T and 17T, so you can alter gear ratios without heavy modification. It is a practical upgrade for drivers who swap setups between events.

Where These Pinions Work Best

Designed for TRF501X and DB01 chassis, these pinions also fit many other cars that accept 48P pinions and the same shaft size. Note they are incompatible with 540SH and RS-540 Sport Tuned Motors, so check your motor label first.

Design and Durability

These pinions are CNC machined from aluminium and given a titanium finish for corrosion resistance and a neat look. The accurate tooth form reduces vibration and aids consistent power transfer.

Practical Setup Advice

Choose the 16T for tighter tracks where acceleration matters and the 17T when straights demand higher speed. Combining these pinions with parts like the 53965 and 53966 increases your tuning range.

If the screw fits the new pinion and seats properly it is fine, but check for wear. Replacing a worn grub screw prevents slippage and keeps the pinion secure.
Switching to a higher tooth count raises top speed and can increase current draw under load. Make sure your motor and ESC can handle the change and monitor temperatures during testing.
Aim for a small amount of play about the thickness of a business card between pinion and spur. Too tight causes binding and too loose leads to premature tooth wear.
